The tilapia's size dosent matter.
A tilapia in a fast flowing river will fight harder than a one in a canal.
Even a 1 kilo tilapia can match to a 3 kilo tilapia bred in a farm.
Biggest?Approx (for SG) 1kilo to 1 and a half.
Urrrgh, no time to fish now~

welcome to HLF simplicity , :grin: :grin:
it depends on the climate, living conditions, food availability, food type available, etc.... if you fish at longkang, you think can grow to monster size? no right.... if you fish in super big pond everyday got ppl feed de you think catch will be small? no right.... so must compare these factors :sweatdrop: :eyebrow:
